Come now, TR isn't near as belligerent as Chess was. That said he is a rather prickly fellow.March 25, 2010 at 01:06AM View BBCode
It was more because of the weird and deliberate misunderstanding. Sheppy quite clearly said "any QB the Seahawks ever had" which obviously includes Warren Moon.March 25, 2010 at 01:51AM View BBCode
Lets just back away from the Warren Moon part of the conversation before something silly becomes something stupider.March 25, 2010 at 01:59AM View BBCode
I admit that Warren was a 'Honk, and that I'd forgotten that.March 25, 2010 at 02:08AM View BBCode

If you go back and look at them, especially when compared to guys who played when he did, you'll see just how good they are. Like someone has already said, just because the guy has become completely a nutjob in his old age doesn't change the fact that he was a great player. And speaking of looking at stats, have you looked at Jason Campbell's? In each of his four seasons he's thrown more TDs than the last and in each of his four seasons he's thrown more TDs than INTs. That's at least average by most people's standards. His QB rating has improved every season as well, up to 86.4 last season, which puts him at 15th for 2009 (right in the middle), in front of guys like Carson Palmer, Matt Ryan, Matt Hasselbeck, and Matt Cassel. So if I was the Redskins I wouldn't freak out about Campbell. Instead, I would focus on keeping a coach around for more than two seasons so that Campbell could develop properly. And, shep, I'm glad you aren't the GM of a team I like because while Tim Tebow was a great player in college, his bad footwork, lack of experience under center, and long and slow throwing motion make him a major project. I'm thinking that it will take at least four or five seasons for Tebow to get up to speed, and even then would the changes in footwork and throwing motion be a part of his muscle memory (in other words, when under pressure would he revert to his old ways?)? I wouldn't mind taking a risk on him in the second half of the third round or later. Anything earlier than that is just an unnecessary risk.
So, back on topic, I want to hear someone make a case for Reggie White being the best player ever. Even if you don't think he was, make a case for him.

My dad has the worst sports memory of anyone I know (he's always marveling that the Titans not only exist, but used to be the Oilers). But he remembers that Dave Krieg played football at Milton College.March 25, 2010 at 02:26AM View BBCode

Anyone who doesn't know that it was a slap at tyles, is missing the whole point of my hyperbole.
Dave Krieg was the Tony Romo of his day, and a fun QB to watch. Zorn was pretty good, too. Hasselback has had his moments.
I was tweaking giorge, a Foreskins fan, and tyles, a Seahonks fan.
I'm wasting my idiotic humor on you people...
